I generally search out an ATP or multi-I if I can. Primary flying is one thing;
new instructors are fine for that. But at my advanced old age, I'd rather take
advice from someone with significant time.

I had an aircraft checkout earlier this year where a young whippersnapper was
offering me tips on how to survive a crash. We had two crashes between us.
However, both of them were mine. *I* know how to survive a crash (if it can be
done).
